Bruce Horn

Bruce Horn was a Research Microbiologist at the National Peanut Research Laboratory (USDA, ARS) in Dawson, Georgia for nearly 25 years.  His research interests included the ecology, population biology and taxonomy of fungi that produce mycotoxins in crops.  He conducted research on the biological control of aflatoxins in peanuts and corn using nontoxigenic fungi, as well as research on sexual reproduction in aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus flavus and related species.  Dr. Horn received his PhD and MA from the University of Kansas and BS from the University of Washington. Although retired from the NPRL, Dr. Horn remains involved in this project.
